Muhammad Z Zaman is an Urban Artist specializing in Calligraphy.

Over the years he has developed a personal style that incorporates the three different languages ​​that make up his identity: English since he lives in the USA, Bengali, the language of his fatherland, and Arabic, the language of his religion.

Since childhood, Zaman was always fascinated by the languages, lettering, and calligraphy of different parts of the world. Zaman was influenced by the artist Elseed and his idea to create unity for people from different backgrounds, ethnicities, and religions. Zaman’s aim is to inspire people to share the same place and learn from each other in harmony and mutual understanding.

Although his works contain words in three different languages, there ​​is always at least one recognizable word. This makes the audience curious to ask and decode the message, connecting them to Zaman’s art. Even if Zaman uses ancient techniques and universal messages of peace, he utilizes new shapes and colors to present his art to the world with a modern look.
